Key logging Programs or keyloggers belong to a group of tools that
monitor user activity on the computer. It records information about
every keystroke from your keyboard, including the system keys.
Installing a keylogger onto a PC is a relatively simple procedure.
Although antivirus and anti spyware software protect you from such
programs, but newly designed keyloggers may slip past them and get
installed on your PC, along with other unsuspecting software.
Keyloggers have always been one of the biggest thereat to online
security and privacy and a security aware internet users should take all
steps to protect themselves from keyloggers.
So what’s the best way to protect yourself from keyloggers? After
researching and using a number of programs we’ve found out that
KeyScrambler from QFX Software is the best anti-keylogger software
today.

KeyScrambler – How Does It Work:

When you type on a keyboard, your keys travel along a path within the operating system
to reach your destination application. Keyloggers monitor this path and
record all the activity in their logs. So if you have a keylogger on
your system - your usernames, passwords email and any other
confidential information you type may get captured and sent back to the
person who has created that keylogger.

KeyScrambler encrypts your keystrokes deep in the kernel, as they
enter the computer.It then decrypts the keystrokes in the destination
application, so you see exactly the keys you’ve typed.
Whatever keylogger might be waiting along the crucial path in the
operating system has only the encrypted keys – “scrambled” and
indecipherable – to record.
I’ve had personal experience with keyloggers causing trouble for me.
That prompted me to find and test the best anti-keylogging program out
there. After trying a few software, KeyScrambler shines the brightest.
KeyScrambler is available in 3 versions 1) Personal which is free. 2)
Pro which supports more applications than the free version. 3) Premium –
which supports over 100 applications for encryption.
For most users Free version would work quite well as it covers both Firefox, Flock and Internet Explorer. If you need more details check out the comparison of the 3 versions.

KeyScrambler Installation, Usage and Options:

I use the KeyScrambler free version which protects my keystrokes in
both IE and Firefox. Anytime I type anything in these browsers, its
encrypted by KeyScrambler. If somehow a keylogger slips past my
anti-virus software, they would only record random characters created by
KeyScrambler.
While typing, KeyScrambler displays it’s User Interface (UI). The UI
is non obtrusive as its positioned outside the program’s window and you
can position the KeyScrambler’s UI at the left or right and below the
program’s windows. You can do that by clicking the arrow (up, down,
left, right) within the program’s UI.
In the above image we can see the account number is encrypted and below the GMail id is being encrypted.

KeyScrambler Options:

You can Disable the protection of KeyScrambler, by right-clicking
the icon or simply pressing Control + Shift + K on your keyboard.
You can opt to load KeyScrambler at Windows start-up and to automatically check for updates.
You can also change choose if you want the UI to be animated.

KeyScrambler Features:

Broad Compatibility – KeyScrambler is compatible with other security programs and authentication methods.

Easy Integration – Installing KeyScrambler is very
easy. After installation you need to restart the computer for
KeyScrambler to protect you from the System kernel.

Conclusion:

KeyScrambler is one of its kind program that does its job
exceptionally well. I have tested it with some keylogging programs and
none of them could catch what I was actually typing.
KeyScrambler Free version should be good enough for most users, but
you can check the version comparison and see if you want more advanced
features.
By the way, if you play flash games, you may want to use the short
cut to disable KeyScrambler as it sends encrypted keystrokes to the
flash game and it doesn’t understand the keys at times.
For everything else – KeyScrambler is the perfect security companion against keyloggers.
